Cons more than pros - Teacher EF (Education First) Employee Review

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience working as a Teacher in our Manchester school. We’re sorry to hear it wasn’t all positive, but we really appreciate your feedback — it helps us keep improving. Our pay, marking, and lesson prep policies follow EF Language Abroad’s global framework to ensure consistency across all schools. The 5th edition of our main course book is also nearly complete, and we’ve not had any specific concerns raised by students about the current version. We know SPIN (Special Interest) classes have had mixed feedback in the past, and our academic team has been working to build a strong resource bank to make planning easier. Many SPINs now use EF-published materials, and at Manchester they make up no more than 20% of a teacher’s timetable. The school is currently undergoing a facelift, with classroom equipment and resources being reviewed and upgraded as part of that. Staff also have access to EF Language Abroad’s People & Culture function for any HR needs, and our academic team meets weekly to support communication and planning. We’ve rolled out our career ladder to make progression opportunities clearer, and regularly share details of both EF-wide and Manchester-specific benefits with our team. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best in your next steps.
